I know some homes got it back there in the Aug 2016 floods.

Some of the newer neighborhoods along 22 got it twice unfortunately that year March and Aug

I’ve never seen this much rain in Madisonville. No end in sight for the next 2 hours.

Tornado tried to spin up just north of our neighborhood earlier but cycled and touched down on 1085 near I-12. That was an extremely creepy 3 minutes watching that shite spin hoping it wouldn’t form.

Also- 8.6” of rain since noon in my rain gauge

I left town today at 3pm for an extended weekend on Lake Darbonne. My family is home. Everyone is saying we are going to flood tonight. Water is the highest it has ever been in our neighborhood.

Fox Branch Estates on 1085, by I-12

The problem in that area around 1085, I-12, Brewster is that land is so flat the water has no where to drain to.

Hoping that purple crap on the Accuweather radar stays out in the lake.

Latest radar data suggest that significant flooding is likely occurring or will soon near Hahnville, Luling, and Norco. The estimated amount of rainfall that has occurred in the last hour recurs on average every 20 to 75 years. A flash flood warning is in effect. #LAwx #MSwx

You can see on radar what looks like an eye wall north of Baton Rouge right now.

It has been a wall of torrential rain. The pond behind my home is separated from a creek (Mile Branch) by a "levee" that is 7 feet above the level of the pond. There is only about 2 feet of that 7 left keeping them from becoming connected.

Luckily, the water hasn't reached my yard, plus my home is 4 feet off of the ground. My garage, however, is only about 5 feet away from the ever-growing ditch overflow.

This shite is crazy.

My good buddy lives in, I think it’s called Tallow Creek? Near the West St Tammany YMCA. Been trying to call him and his wife for last few hours, should I be worried?
